Rajesh,
Most emplyers require employees to have Sattva Guna which means they want their employees to have serenity, patience, uprightness,and learning. The requirement for military is slightly different since there qualities like valour, fighting spirit are required.
No employer would like to have people with Rajasa and Tamasa Guna. Gita defines the three Gunas in terms of work done as follows:
<i>Work of the nature of duty done by one without hankering for fruits, and without attachment or passion or hate - such work is spoken of as born of Sattva. (Gita 17.23)
But work that is done by a person merely for the gratification of his desire, and with great strain and a feeling of self-importance is said to be born of Rajas. (Gita 17.24)
And that work which is performed under delusion, without any regard to consequence, loss, injury to others, and to one's own capacity - is said to be born of Tamas. (Gita 17.25)
</i>
In the real world the employers know that people want to earn money for the gratification of desires, they want to feel important and that some people have destructive habits. Giving raises, creating jobs with important nomenclatures and laws against offensive behaviour are all admissions that most people are not of pure Sattvika type but have a strong admixture of Rajasa and Tamasa Gunas.
